Want to talk about one of the worst GM's ever?

With The Sims trade today, only 1 out of the 39 picks Matt Millen made between 2002 - 2006 remains with the Lions: '06 2nd rounder Daniel Bullocks.

Wowzer!

The Detroit News says none of the 39 are left....

"Sims, Detroit's ninth overall pick in 2006, was due to make $1.8 million in the final year of his rookie contract. And after trading him away, the Lions' roster now includes none of the 39 draft picks former team president Matt Millen made from 2002 to 2006."

My only guess would be that's because Bullocks just signed his tender tonight?

I dunno. He definitely was drafted by the Lions in 2006.

I have leave the room or change the channel when that jack a55 is on ESPN. Matt Millen took a proud franchise and dragged them down. The season before he took over we missed the playoffs by a field goal. From that time on they sucked. Then in 2005 they gave him a contract extension and they continued to suck. Fired 3 years into that contract his handiwork resulted in a perfect season 0-16. I jumped ship a long time ago. Now that they seem to be making sound football decisions i care again.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
